Deeney, who was in his first managerial role, apologised earlier this week for criticising his own players following defeat by Harrogate, saying he allowed his emotions to get the better of him. Rovers chairman Dale Vince said: "These are decisions nobody likes to make, but we have acted this way to give Forest Green Rovers the best possible chance of improving results and climbing the league table. Speaking after their defeat by Harrogate, he said there were "too many babies" in his squad, adding that he would rather watch Antiques Roadshow. Deeney was charged by the Football Association with using "improper and/or abusive and/or threatening behaviour and/or language" after he was shown shown a red card late on in their defeat by Swindon on 29 December.
